Just yesterday I was reading an article how we already as children are raised in this victim mindset, thinking that we cannot control our own life or what happens around us. We see our parents and other people in hopeless situations complaining a lot and we adopt this mindset. This way we see the world and problems as something we have no control over and we give responsibility for our lives to others. If we cannot do anything, if we are not in charge, how can we find motivation? I think it is crucial to always learn and remember that we are the ones who are responsible. And even if things are sometimes out of our control, it is still our choice if we want to see it as something positive or negative, to react or not.

you got it

[@jimmoefoe1471]

I have an really big exam in exactly 2 weeks. Ive been staring at the at the pages for 3 days without reading a single word. This video came in the right time

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

Good luck! Thanks for watching :)

[@arjaytraquena984]

Good luck baby :)

[@PersonalPower]

motivation is unstable. It's good to have it but we should not rely on it. I experience motivationboosts and i start producing videos like a mad man, but the key to success is doing the work even when you are not motivated.

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

Yes! Turn unsteady motivation into stable discipline; but I loved the studies in this book about motivation :)

[@luizatosi1370]

Personal Power that's true!

[@saltbaeisnotdead2145]

@personal power gosh your videos have some great insights

[@fikrikudo4521]

Habits far more important than motivation. Motivation can be temporary, but habit can last a lifetime

[@PersonalPower]

Pnokie131 habits can have some downsides though! I just recently made a video about it. balance is the key!

[@vt2704]

This is an amazing video. Over a decade ago I had a pretty bad motorcycle accident. After I got tested for brain bleeding. I remembered that they said I had no brain bleeding. At least no severe bleeding! Since then I've struggled with making decisions to the point where I feel better making none at all.

[@alphasociety1962]

Awesome video! Love how you give practical advice anyone can apply.

[@chrisbieker8341]

Love the chapter by chapter breakdown.

[@GeekyMino]

Choices remind us that we are in control and that increases our motivation. This is gold (added to my collection) 😄 Super high quality video! I always knew that giving little kids choices is great to let them feel in control but I didn’t even think it can increase motivation (even with adults). Super useful thanks for sharing. Mindblow😲

[@gabriel5327]

Thanks a lot for keeping the old videos, they are always awesome and very helpfull =D Keep up the good work

[@ryanokken6682]

Congrats for 1 million subscribers

[@swaguilar_]

I love these types of vids. Collabs are good but I love your content better!

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

+Pablo Aguilar Thanks for your thoughts :)

[@daryaaleksandrova42]

I like the SMART acronym. Very helpful.

[@truthdonut995]

Watching motivational videos to get motivated.

[@sebastiendube1289]

I really like all the stuff you are doing, I appreciate what you are teaching us. For me if the pace of speaking was a little bit slower, it will be awesome. Great work!

[@Symosers]

Great video! Thanks

[@itsvollx9684]

This video is amazing it shows the concept of being in control and having a choice to do, think and not letting yourself fall into a helpless or lost mentality/mindset

[@zillionist]

AGREE!

[@coderOnTwoWeels]

This helped me a lot! Thank you!

[@belladesa91]

One of my fav youtube channels, love ur videos

[@zillionist]

SAME!:)

[@nelion2134]

I really enjoy your channel.

[@l.k.5373]

It was a very Helpful review!

[@RunForMillionaire]

Great video! Glad to see you uploading new things :) Keep it up!

[@jmm1of6]

Definitely a video I wanted! Thanks for putting out an amazing video. Keep staying motivated to make videos!

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

I really appreciate your support, thanks :)

[@phetphaly3106]

Great video! 👍👍👍

[@mghaderyan]

Wow this was great! thanks a lot :)

[@be4tnl]

thanks man!

[@AbedAmad]

Congrats on a mill!!

[@zillionist]

A sense of control is KEY in happiness and motivation. Do so many people lose motivation because they feel what they are doing does not matter? Doing meaningful work or focusing on HOW your work is benefiting others definitely helps in reaching long-term goals! Fascinating topic :)

[@abrarnth]

Thanks for give me a right video at a right time. I really appreciate it

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

Perfect, I love when videos are perfect for people at the right time :)

[@jameswix3697]

Congrats On 1Million

[@Senijs]

Awesome video as always! But it would be great if you did a recap of everything that you've said in the video shown in simplified form at the end of the video.

[@JoshuaBurton110213]

Amazing video yet again. Also, the ironic thing about choices is that if your brain has TOO MANY choices then it becomes difficult to make a decision.

[@sandeepganji869]

Hi I appreciate your work, the shaky edit works

[@luizatosi1370]

Really interesting!

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

Thanks!

[@jaymaisuria8398]

I really like your videos and gain so much knowledge from it. so, I request you to make a video about how to stop stuttering.

[@DemonhunterJay]

I read this book

[@SouLxClincher7]

I always enjoy your videos! That being said, I thought it was funny when you pointed to the unmotivated Stick Mans crotch for Self -drive. LOL!

[@Pugpono]

Your comment on Charisma on Command's Rick and Morty video was hilarious, lol 😂

[@nidhijhawer756]

I've seen quite alot of your videos and find them to be quality content. Do you mind doing a 'my setup' video? Because even I wanna start a KZbin channel like yours and I was wondering what software and audio equipment you use.Thank you.😊

[@tylehh120]

You know what the crazy thing is is that Thai book preaches my actions and people criticized my actions so much that they feel there better than me in every way

[@KreativeVein]

are the words/pictures shaking for you guys too? or am I going crazy LOL

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

Finally someone noticed it xD

[@KreativeVein]

lol did you do it on purpose?

[@kreativefan2827]

not surprised to find you here lol

[@KreativeVein]

WUH

[@GeekyMino]

Everything is shaky 😁

[@conceptualactions1828]

hello!! congrats in good attempt in explaining... can we say?? one need to have a sound internal locus of control as solid as rock? we need to condition from internal as well as external stimulus?

[@pantslizard]

semper fi

[@autorotate1803]

Subscribed! 1.1M+1

[@Nemesis-in8kr]

Would one of you be so kind and tell me the title of the background music or where to find it ? :) Really enjoyed the video aswell, keep up the love and knowledge spreading :D

[@MarioMedoni]

I didn't expect that! I asked you if you could make a video about will power/ motivation in the comments of the previous video an you already did that. :D

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

:)

[@dranoeliagarcia]

Amazing video, as always. I totally agree with the importance of being able to choose. Throughout my life my parents have always given me the choice to do whatever I want. The result was that other kids whose parents imposed them strict rules turned out reckless while I am an outstanding student who doesn't drink, smoke or eat processed food. (Not saying that those are bad just that being able to choose gives better results than trying to impose rules). Also not being able to choose creates anxiety and it is proven that learned helplessness is a risk factor for cancer!

[@manasdeora4601]

Wow

[@Bill0102]

This content is intellectually stimulating; akin to a book that stimulated intellectual curiosity. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling

[@sanjivii]

what software do you use? btw i helped you earn something by running the pre video ad completely and also clicked the link. so it would be really helpful if you share about what software you use. thanks in advance.

[@alighalib4395]

Hey what is this background music? It keep humming in my mind :)

[@edi9892]

I think he refers to that plane crash, where everything looked good except that they were loosing altitude fast. They tried to compensate by pulling the nose up, but that caused them to lose their draft. In the end they pulled the nose up until they dropped the plane with their rear first. AFAIK, all that was really wrong with the plane was a frozen pressure meter... A quick glance to their globe would have told them to pull the nose down....

[@AliexFolgueira]

Wow I'm always giving my son choices, do you know want to eat this or that? What game you want to play??? Etc because that's how I like to be treated lol

[@digameutruta]

I love how you and improvment help people , thanks men, need it motivation everyday to improve my videos , sinse I m starting now and I dont have subs to watch my video hahah yet.

[@Prajwal374]

keep it up bro! :')

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

Thanks :)

[@Prajwal374]

reading the magic of thinking big currently! :)

[@emilesirri7981]

That music i swear to god

[@AnneOprinses]

Another time I learned that choices take discipline and discipline is limited each day. Now I wonder how to combine this with the fact that choices give you motivation?

[@LakevusParadice]

I've got a question with playing out conversations before they happen. I've heard that thinking about a conversation even before it takes places can be bad and produce negativity within a person but here you say that it's actually good??? What's actually right in this case?

[@elliottelinarussell5525]

Locus of control is a bit different. Basically there is External vs. Internal. If you externalize your choices and behaviour (example: You made me mad) you live a life of blame and cannot do anything. Everything that happens is because of others. Internalizing (I was mad) is living a life of responsibility (internal). If you understand that you are responsible, you will start becoming motivated as it is empowering--you can choose your life rather than being subject to the choices of others..

[@dreambig2399]

how much time you takes to complete one book?

[@MuhammadDanyalKhan]

Great Work. Love your videos. Will be looking forward for Collab ;)

[@parthshukla1798]

How did a dice have numbers between 1 and 10?

[@Areyouseriousor]

Awesome. This was a great book review :) Ive just started to study psychology for my first time and i really enjoy it. Question: Are you going to make a 1mill subs video?

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

That's awesome! And yep; working on it currently haha (might be a week or two before it's finished)

[@Areyouseriousor]

Thank you for always replying

[@andreasrs69]

My mom always ask "would you like to do A or B" Me: B Her: "Ah I don't like that Let's do A"

[@zackgrey4472]

"You sound like Morty", coming from Charisma's recent vid xD :P

[@junk8714]

So what do you do if your brain's bleeding?

[@weirdone002]

Wait, how exactly did the train solution solve the speed/turn problem?

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

+weirdone002 Make a train that goes underground and goes straight from A to B

[@tibegamer7360]

Why is the picture vibrating ? It sucks

[@surajtandel5753]

😃👍

[@Kakaohunden]

Yay

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

Congratz on first!

[@paulkandt8455]

Lokus with `k´ is another word for toilet in german - the more you know :´-)

[@LuisCasstle]

Watch this at half speed.

[@seyfun1452]

That's amazing. But still nothing helps me motivate myself to study math

[@jett9104]

1:53 ?????

[@D3D2Futbol]

i also noticed :p

[@Feynthot]

Seems to me that you should have a better goal than 10 million subscribers. The goal doesn’t align directly with your purpose. With he goal of 10 million, it means that you may sacrifice you purpose to reach your goal. The goal should be tied to your purpose or you jeopardize your future. Rethink your goal.

[@marlokalle9220]

I think Practical Psychology rushes through too quickly. The power of breakes between sections of texts is great, because whatever is said just becomes noise to the unfocused audience, expecially for non-english speakers.

[@kinamaster666]

The waving effect is kinda annoying

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@MRX1o1]

Ok in my opinion this was decent video after long time of just forgetable videos.

[@Oscar-vv6dn]

You sound like mortu

[@AdamSilverbu]

Damn puberty hit Morty like a bullet train (it's unoriginal but I can't help it)

[@cadonee]

"mental modeling" is over thinking for me

[@wahahaisused]

Oooh geez... you kinda sound like Morty

[@holycopy]

I thought Rick was the smart one..

[@FordaAnt]

You sound like Morty from Rick and Morty.... ; )

[@ritishmadaan4516]

I wanna meet u... U r osm

[@chef9980]

I think your videos have a lot of great content in them, but can you please evolve your channel. You could go so much further if you just improved the quality of your videos. Different/higher quality whitebard videos and a higher quality mic would help. Also the annoying royalty free music is annoying and turns me off from watching your videos.

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

+Chef Thanks for the feedback. I've got a AT2035, have any suggestions? Also are you suggesting a new type of animation? Or just get rid of the wavies?

[@chef9980]

actually I think I was listening on a bad speaker at the time, the mic isn't really all that bad. In my opinion these whiteboard videos look like something you buy on fiverr or something, i see it all over the place and it is repetitive in my eyes. I do highly recommend changing the music though, maybe something more motivational or something but dear god anything but this reptitive royalty free music.

[@My100010001000]

You go too fast bro!!!

[@PracticalPsychologyTips]

Thanks for the feedback!
